Blue Wildebeest

The Blue Wildebeest, also called the brindled gnu, looks like it was pieced together from several animals—part cow, part horse, part buffalo. It has a large, boxy frame with shaggy beard, curved horns, and bluish-gray stripes on its body.  Despite their awkward appearance, they are surprisingly fast and can hit speeds up to 50 mph.  During the Great Migration in Africa, over a million wildebeest travel 1,200 miles—making it one of the greatest natural spectacles on earth.
